Isack Hadjar has etched his name into Formula 1 history after securing a stunning P3 at the Dutch Grand Prix – his first ever podium finish in the sport.
Speaking after the race, the Frenchman could hardly contain his delight at the performance he and his team put together:
"It feels a bit unreal. What was most surprising to me is keeping that fourth place for the whole race.
"Unfortunately for Lando, you know, we took advantage of his puncture."
Hadjar praised both his car and his own execution across the weekend, pointing to a flawless display.
"But yeah, we did no mistake. The car was on rails the whole weekend and I'm really happy about myself because I really maximized what I had.
"Made no mistakes and brought home the podium. So yeah, I'm so happy for my guys."
This had always been the target!
When asked if he had ever dreamt of this level of success, Hadjar admitted it had always been part of the plan.
"Yeah, that was always the target since I was a kid.
"So this is the first step, my first podium, and hopefully many more to come," the Frenchman concluded, brimming with ambition.
